173 Breakout begins
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"A little higher, a little higher...... Yes, that's all. "Two soldiers are operating a heavy crossbow that has been removed from a wooden wall. This heavy crossbow didn't perform well in last night's battle against the Balo Flame Demon, but now, it's time to wield it.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and the preparations for the breakout were ready, and the last thing that needed to be done was to drive away the Flomo who were hovering in the sky, watching the hunting camp, in order to buy enough time for the men to assemble. Otherwise, when Flomo saw that a large-scale personnel movement suddenly began in the hunting camp, he would definitely immediately inform Balo Flame Demon to prepare for defense. In this case, the success rate of the raid will be greatly reduced.
The crossbow is now loaded, on which Gordon has enchanted a "Heavenly Light", and Dorn has made an instantaneous touch magic sigil that lasts for three hours. Finally, a mage who specializes in the Prophetic School of Spells casts a "Guided Shot" on the crossbow. Although the range of the heavy crossbow is sufficient, it is very difficult to accurately hit Flomo, who is located in the air for more than three hundred meters, without the assistance of this spell.
"My lord, the shooting angle has been adjusted, you can shoot!" The crossbowman who operated the heavy crossbow solemnly reported to Gordon.
"Good, shoot!" Gordon didn't hesitate.
At this time, it is the middle of the day, when the sun is in the sky, and the power of order is the strongest, and the suppression of demons is also the strongest. If you delay any longer, by three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun will gradually set in the west, and the advantages that belong to human beings will slowly begin to decrease.
The crossbowman took a deep breath, his index finger holding the trigger trembling slightly. He felt his life along with the lives of everyone in the camp. It seems to be pressed against his index finger.
"Hey, I didn't expect a little person like me. There is also a day that plays a key role! ”
He grinned and eventually pulled the trigger.
I only heard a "clang", and the entire crossbow machine jumped up because of the huge elastic potential energy. The heavy crossbow bolt "swished" into the air, drawing a straight line, and then pierced a screaming Flomo through the chest.
"Boom!" Dorn whispered in the dragon's voice, and the bolt that hit Flomo's crossbow suddenly burst into the air with brilliant white light.
The crowd looking at the sky couldn't help but squint their eyes. Hand on pergola. For a moment, they couldn't even tell which ball of light in the sky was the sun.
Flomo, who was pierced by a crossbow arrow, barely managed to save a life. But when the magic mark was activated and the light of heaven was touched, the white energy of the radiant attribute immediately burned it to death. It's like snow meets sun. Its body quickly melted into a handful of black ash and then floated down from the sky.
The other Flomo was startled. These ugly half-humanoids did not expect that at this height, the humans of the hunting camp actually had the means to threaten them. The few remaining Flodemons dispersed with a scream, then surged downward, landing in the woods where the demon army was hiding.
"Gordon. How's that, can we get ready? Ms. Bishop asked.
"No, wait a minute. We need to test again. Gordon's face was calm, without the slightest hint of anxiety from the others.
After about ten minutes, several more Flomos rose into the air. They seem to be somewhat reluctant. The movements of flapping the wings are all weak. However, under the coercion of the superior commander. The demons still have to go on a mission to scout the human hunting camp.
Gordon said in a tone that was under control: "Prepare the second crossbow arrow." ”
This time, the Flo Demons seemed to have had even worse luck. Before they could disperse the formation, when the first hapless Flomo was hit by the heavy crossbow, the burst of Heavenly Light quickly burned all three nearby Flo Demons - they didn't even have time to escape the spell's damage range in time.
The remaining Flomo were also more or less injured.
As they whined and flew crookedly into the forest, Gordon had the crossbowman load the third and final enchanted crossbow.
This time, after twenty minutes, a new batch of Flomo took off again. It can be seen that the human attack method makes the demon commander hesitate whether to continue to send Flomo to monitor the hunting camp, and how many Flomo should be sent to monitor.
Gordon's tactics changed again. During Flomo's ascension, he had the crossbowman shoot a crossbow. Compared to the targets hovering in the air, these Flomos, who are rapidly rising into the air, are more difficult to hit. However, with the help of "guided shooting", this is not a problem.
The Flomos, who had originally planned to disperse their formation immediately after liftoff, so as not to be killed by a large number of human range spells, were caught off guard again.
"Alright." Gordon looked at Ms. Bishop, "This time, the Demon Commander will be even more hesitant to continue to send Flomo into the sky to monitor. With our enchanted crossbows, the enemy will also spend more time thinking about how to deal with them. Ms. Bishop, you have at least half an hour. Keep in mind, though, that the next time Flomo takes off, we'd better start breaking out right away. Because these Tanari demons have the ability to communicate with each other telepathically, they exchange information with each other without delay. You don't have to use gestures, voices, and flags to pass commands to each other, as humans do. When Flomo saw us gathering our troops, it was when the Demon Commander knew what we were trying to do. ”
"I understand." Ms. Bishop patted Gordon on the shoulder, "I have already conveyed the preliminary preparations. Half an hour is enough to assemble. If this breakout can be successful, you are the hero of the will! ”
After saying that, she gave a look to the heralds beside her. The well-trained heralds immediately dispersed and passed on the order.
"Dorne, it's up to you to clear the way." Gordon said to his friend.
"Don't worry." Young Master Lannister also had a stern face at this time, which was very different from his usual appearance, "With the 'Daylight Arrow' that we made together, this breakthrough must be no problem." ”
The so-called "daylight arrows" are actually similar to the crossbow arrows that were used to attack Flomo just now. It was Gordon who cast the 'Light of Heaven', and then Dorne attached a magic arrow made of an instant touch mark.
A four-ring spell consumes 15 mana points, and Gordon has 155 mana points, plus the mana potion can replenish half of the mana, and the mana he can use today is a total of 232 points. After removing the 24 mana consumed by the shrinkage spell he had previously cast on the three wooden wedges, he could enchant a total of thirteen Heavenly Light spells on the arrows.
In addition to the three crossbow arrows that were used to attack Flomo just now, Dorne now has ten daylight arrows in his hands.
This is the biggest weapon to break through.
Ms. Bishop specially selected ten warriors with excellent riding and archery skills, and each of them was given a daylight arrow to serve as the vanguard of the breakthrough.
With Ms. Bishop's order, the camp began to be lively. Many people ran out of the huts or tents where they had been hiding from Flo's detection, and then lined up according to the plan they had already set.
"Sister, be careful, we'll see you on the Ancient Way." Gordon beckoned to Sheona, and activated the flying spell on the Eagle Feather Boots.
"Brother, you are the same." Xie Ona raised her head and beckoned to Gao Deng, who was slowly rising into the air, her face full of reluctance.
"Captain, you have a good sister." Following Gordon, Bivis, who was trying to adjust his balance, said.
Although he knew that the other party was flattering himself, Gordon couldn't be happy when he looked at the other party's lewd face: "Concentrate, we are the key to the break." If the breakthrough is successful, then it is up to the two of us to be able to get rid of the pursuit of the demons. ”
"Yes, Captain!" Bivis felt as if he was the hero of the epic who was about to turn the tide, his face flushed and he was very excited.
The two of them used levitation to hide on the hillside west of the hunting camp. When the time comes, remove the shrinkage spell on the six wooden wedges, lead the avalanche, and block the path of the demons' pursuit.
The hunting camp below your feet is getting smaller and smaller, and it looks like an irregular chessboard. People dressed in different clothes are like colorful swimming fish, gathering from all over the place and forming an orderly procession.
Gordon had to admire Ms. Bishop's organizational skills, how she was able to bring together a group of scattered aristocrats in such a short period of time. Of course, on the other hand, under the threat of demons and the huge pressure of survival, these people cannot be as casual as usual.
If you want to survive, you have to be obedient.
Gordon even saw a staunch aristocrat in the ranks, led by Earl Thompson. It seems that after careful consideration, they knew that when Ms. Bishop led her men to break through, they would not be able to hold the camp until reinforcements arrived. So in the end, I had to compromise and join the breakout team.
Of course, the Earl of Thompson, who was riding on a horse at this time, did not look very good.
Finally, after more than half an hour, the Demon Commander once again sent Flomo to reconnoiter the hunting camp. This time, the three Flomos, who were on reconnaissance missions, were covered with a pale white shroud.
It seems that the caster of the demon army may be the succubus, who blessed them with a spell to protect them from the damage of the radiant energy.
However, this response is just useless.
The Flomos rose into the air. This time, they didn't encounter the deadly bolt again. But before they could celebrate, the ugly faces of these demons changed dramatically, and they let out unpleasant screams.
They finally appeared in the hunting camp, the movement of humans.
But by this time it was too late.
"Cavalry ......" Ms. Bishop rode on the tall Usnos warhorse, and her voice was elongated so that everyone could hear her.
She drew her saber and swung it forward, its shiny blade arcing in the sunlight.
"Breakout!" Ms. Bishop gave the order. (To be continued.) )
